Sew & Sews do Christmas 09

Last night was our annual Sew & Sews Christmas catch-up. This year we met at Clare's and there were lot's of laughs and plenty of show and tell. I made mini Christmas Puddings and Donna Hay's hummous with caramalized onion dip from her new Christmas magazine. YUM!

Clare's been sewing up a storm starting new quilt tops, Christmas stockings for her kids and adorable soap bags for the girls. She even used plastic coated lining! Champion effort Clare.

I made pot holders inspired by these for each of the girls. They're roughly 9" square and randomly quilted. I loved how they turned out. And the best bit....all from the scrap box!

About Me

I started quilting a few years ago and wish I had more hours to devote to this wonderful craft. I thank my mum for teaching me to sew and knit, letting me 'play' on her treasured Necchi sewing machine when I was little, for sending me to a school with home economics classes that did more than just make tea and toast and for always sharing her fabric stash.
